Tehran, March 13 (ICANA) – A reliable source in Majlis (Parliament) Presiding Board said on Tuesday that Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will attend the open session of the parliament (Majlis) on Wednesday to answer a number of questions which have been raised by MPs in 10 topics.

Farhangi noted that after eleven members of the Iranian parliament withdrew, there are only 68 members left. The minimum number of people is 70, the report is yet to be confirmed.

The questions include matters such as the failure to provide the budget for expansion of the Tehran Subway system, 11 days of defiance against the order of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, the odd dismissal of Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, and challenges to the power of Parliament.
